WHAT AI CHANGES

Ten accounting problems, one governed model.

Each card states the problem, what the AI does, the measurable outcome, and where the human signs. Cases marked illustrative are directional estimates, not benchmarked results.

01

Accounts payable processing

ProblemInvoices arrive in every format; coding and three-way match eat days each cycle.

AI doesCaptures invoice data, matches PO / receipt / invoice, codes to the GL, flags exceptions.

Majority touchlessfor compliant invoices; days of manual keying removed

02

Accounts receivable & cash application

ProblemIncoming payments sit unapplied; collections calls are manual and untargeted.

AI doesMatches remittances to open invoices, prioritises collections by risk, drafts dunning correspondence.

Fastercash application; fewer days sales outstanding

03

Bank & GL reconciliation

ProblemReconciliations are rebuilt from scratch in spreadsheets every period.

AI doesMatches bank lines to GL entries continuously, ages and explains open items, drafts the memo.

Fixed assets & depreciation

ProblemAsset registers drift from the GL; capitalise-vs-expense judgement is inconsistent.

AI doesReconciles the asset register to the GL, applies depreciation policy, flags judgement calls.

Payroll accounting & posting

ProblemPayroll journals are rebuilt by hand each cycle across entities and cost centres.

AI doesMaps payroll output to the chart of accounts, builds and posts the journal, reconciles to register.

  • G1 - Automated validation. Schema checks, totals and cross-checks against source run on every posting.
  • G2 - Domain review. An accountant reviews AI output against source documents and the rule set.
  • G3 - Professional sign-off. Nothing posts to the GL, closes a sub-ledger, or leaves for audit without a named signatory.
  • G4 - Immutable audit trail. Every reconciliation, journal and PBC schedule carries its evidence into your audit file.
WHY GOVERNED, NOT AUTOMATED

A ledger only an accountant can close.

Automated bookkeeping without review is how errors compound quietly for months. Accomply keeps the ledger continuously reconciled and drafts every journal, but the person who understands your chart of accounts, your entity structure and your judgement calls still reviews and posts. That is what makes the close defensible to an auditor, not just fast.
